This is sort of what I thought of (of course you brought it into detail), but I didn't know if there is maybe a better way, or if there is actually a way to do this after the installation and not in preinst. But I guess if nobody comes up with something better this is the way to do it. Maybe sth. like elog, just you don't log a message to summary.log, but you log the revision of the package. (Meaning, that you can use elog in every phase of an ebuild.) Bernd -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
